A mouse who always lived on the land, by an unlucky chance formedan intimate acquaintance with a frog, who lived for the most partin the water. The frog, one day intent on mischief1, bound thefoot of the mouse tightly to his own. Thus joined together, thefrog first of all led his friend the mouse to the meadow wherethey were accustomed to find their food. After this, hegradually led him towards the pool in which he lived, untilreaching the very brink2, he suddenly jumped in, dragging themouse with him. The frog enjoyed the water amazingly, and swamcroaking about, as if he had done a good deed. The unhappy mousewas soon suffocated3 by the water, and his dead body floated abouton the surface, tied to the foot of the frog. A hawk4 observedit, and, pouncing5 upon it with his talons6, carried it aloft. Thefrog, being still fastened to the leg of the mouse, was alsocarried off a prisoner, and was eaten by the hawk.
